Darryl Bates MD
Health Manager, Medical Advisor
Darryl “Doc” Bates is a board certified Family and Sports Medicine Physician and
graduate of UCLA Medical School. Doc focuses on regenerative techniques that
support the body’s natural ability to heal ligament, tendon and joint injuries. His belief in
assisting the body’s built-in mechanisms to heal is a very different approach from
mainstream physicians. Being a competitive jiu-jitsu athlete himself, I understand the
challenges athletes face with injuries, strains, and sprains. Through the use of
of a Health Management Plan and the Health Management Process, I am able to help people recover even after other physicians have told them there is nothing they can do to help them. I encourage all of my Members to be proactive in their health at any age.
I’m an independent Physician in private practice, I am not restricted by insurance companies and large medical practices who dictate how Physicians practice medicine. I
love to teach and practice the way current research and science proves best. A naive
student in medical school, I found myself disillusioned after graduation. I thought we
would learn about disease, health, and most importantly keeping people healthy. I was mistaken! My education at UCLA was great, I learned much about disease, pathology,
and what to do when the disease process takes hold, but I was taught very little about how to stay healthy and prevent disease.
After medical school, I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine full time. Witnessing the power of nutrition, herbs, exercise, and holistic treatments renewed my spirit. I realized there are really three kinds of doctors:
- #1) Doctors who think the body is broken, and focus on conquering with medications and surgery
- #2) Doctors who feel the body has inherent wisdom to return to homeostasis when it is given the opportunity
- #3) Doctors who never really think about #1 or #2 accepting current teachings within the medical community, without questioning why Big Pharma has a huge influence over medical education.
If you are wondering, I am #2 , a doc who believes in walking the talk.
Is your current physician out of touch with their own health and fitness, and attempting
to give you advice about your sport? I am dedicated to training in my sport 4-5 times a
week, researching and testing out trending nutrition plans to evaluate effectiveness in
achieving desired goals, teaching Doctors of Physical Therapy, Athletic Trainers and
Family Medicine Residents about sports medicine.
My perspectives from attending a top ranked medical school along with my holistic
medical education allow me to see health from a very different perspective. One of my
passions is teaching athletes of all ages, the importance of nutrition and exercise as the
basic foundation of health. When interventions are necessary, I believe in starting with
minimally invasive procedures having little to no side effects.
